My girls with their girl cousins can be crazy!
It's been a busy weekend. Yesterday my side of the family came over for Christmas Eve dinner. We made lots of food. We then waited and waited for everyone to come. All was smooth until Amelia came down with a mysterious stomach bug about half way through the excitement. Poor Amelia's party time had to stop. Good thing though, it only lasted for several hours. Last check at 11:30pm, Amelia asked if Santa had come. I said no, so she said, "he must be in Florida right now then". We slept til 4:40am when I got the call from an awake Ava and Amelia. They were ready to roll. I squashed that excitement very quickly. We slept til 7:00am (Drew slept a hair longer). Everyone was very pleased with their gifts. Andrew with his cd's, guitar and clothes. Amelia with her Nintendo 3DS, and Angry Birds stuff, Ava with her American Girl Doll Kanani and her Barbie clothes, and Jenna with her stroller, high chair, crib, Minnie Bowtique, Dora and books. We all took it easy, played with our gifts, and then got dressed up for Grandma and Grandpa's house and a cousin time visit. We had a wonderful weekend with our families. Merry Christmas!

Celebrate 8!
So....8 years ago today and over 3100 long miles away, our daughter was born. Receiving the phone call that she had arrived, and then the five month wait for her arrival home were moments that we will never forget. Most importantly though, Amelia brought us light in a time when we needed it the most. Happy 8th Birthday to my girl, Amelia Hope! Love you more than you know.

Jenna at 32 months...
Here's Jenna on her bike. She can "bike" down hill - steering and all, it's the up hill that's hard. :)
